My Acer Aspire Switch 10 (which is about a year old) completely shut down yesterday as I was using it. It had been having some minor problems like freezing and my home screen background not loading. Now when plugged in the blue light goes on and the screen is warm. I've tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds, holding the power button and both volume buttons down for 30 seconds... What is wrong with my laptop and is there anything I can do to fix it?
 
Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.
